A team of former traders at the defunct high-frequency trading house Eladian Partners are among a string of recent hires made by Spire Europe, where they will reunite with former colleague Yunus Saatchi.

Anthony Vince, Paul Bermingham and Robert Howard all joined Spire Europe as portfolio managers in January, according to their LinkedIn profiles. Financial News reported in December that Saatchi, a former quantitative trader at Eladian Partners, had joined Spire Europe as a portfolio manager and that Spire was in talks with a handful of other Eladian traders.
